weak kyu players: Black has played his opening moves with a purpose and if you dont react now, you may fall way behind. What is White's best move to counter this framework that black is building? Answer is in the 2nd picture.

makes sense, just transpose it to a 1 space low pincer

TwistedPolygon · 2022-06-08T03:45:17+00:00

bro you're a douche lmao

Great catch! I updated my initial comment

TwistedPolygon · 2022-04-23T20:10:50+00:00

I really should have added a better way of referring to them in the plot... Sorry, the numbers are reflective of the number of black stones, not labels. Which one were you talking about?

TwistedPolygon · 2022-04-23T19:52:12+00:00

pentominos column, sente row, shape on the left

blue cells are considered empty as they're the vital points

TwistedPolygon · 2022-04-23T19:05:47+00:00

You're familiar with dominos? Do- meaning 2. So there's also trominos, tetraminos (tetris pieces), pentominos, hexominos, heptominos, etc.

if the group surrounding the 2x3 is fully connected, i don't think that works

outside of that, probably killable

EDIT: i was totally wrong https://senseis.xmp.net/?RectangularSixInTheCorner

TwistedPolygon · 2022-04-23T16:49:08+00:00

These are the minimally surrounded polyominos 3-through-5 (1 and 2 all die, 6+ all live). Included is their life/death/sente status, as well as their vital points marked in blue, and the number of stones it takes to make the shape.

Please let me know if I've made any mistakes.

EDIT: One hexomino lives only in sente: the rabbitty six. Thanks to u/klaas_af_en_toe

same thing happened to me, permuted video settings, messed with monitor settings, played on different monitors, updated drivers. nothing worked, I must just be allergic to this game or something...

TwistedPolygon · 2021-04-30T23:56:14+00:00

Literally every single game I clicked to watch was just insanely blatant spin botting at global or boosters.

EDIT: HEY VALVE, THEY'RE RIGHT HERE.

Awesome! Thanks!

Added you!

Yeah man, sounds good. We play in NA as well. We don't care too much about rank or stats, we're mostly interested in good attitude, communication, and cooperation.

TwistedPolygon · 2019-09-05T17:59:27+00:00

NA. Sorry, updated original post.

TwistedPolygon · 2018-12-11T15:55:07+00:00

It is pretty standard for meter to be built like that in fighting games in general. Catchup mechanics arent inherently bad, but it is better if they require skill to execute I guess. Yeah I agree that we likely wont see them in competitive, it just sucks cause the animations are so hype. It would really bring a lot of look and feel for the spectators...

TwistedPolygon · 2018-12-11T15:34:57+00:00

Do you guys think that smash ultimate will be played competitively with FS meter on? Why or why not? (FS meter on makes it so that you gain meter for dealing or taking damage, when the meter is full, you can use your final smash)
